It’s a trick to pick a chicken when it’s clucking in the coop
Some are layin’ some are lyin’ some are labeled chicken soup
—–?

Chorus:
Doo whak a doo, fricassee a nous
Doo whack a doodle, jams and apple strudle
Out in the country that’s a style
Sweet as the kisses from a honey child

When you wake up in the morning to the cock a doodle do
And you sneak into the chicken shack to pick a chick or two
Pick a dollar nickle rooster or a dollar nickle hen
For some ricky ticky chicky pickin’ right from the bin
[Chorus]

Now the farmers got a gander and a gobbler and a goose
And a mighty pretty daughter but he’ll never turn her loose
If you like the farmer”s daughter she’s a chicken you can steal
If you swing her while the fiddle plays a real chicken reel
[Chorus]

Sincerely,
Gargoyle
